A Day of a Test Match in an Hour

We did it
On 2nd August 2024 we successfully raised £225 ( + est. £27.50 Gift Aid ) with 15 supporters in 42 days

We are raising money to replace the old and worn net facilities at our cricket club.

We are the Under 11s Cricket Team at Stony Stratford Cricket Club where we want to do our bit to raise money to replace the old and worn out nets. The current nets were first built before we were born, so they have had a lot of use!

On Friday 5th July, we'll be joining in with all the other age groups at our club on a huge Sponsorthon evening!

Each age group is taking on its own activity, and we have decided to challenge ourselves by bowling 90 overs in an hour between us, which is the equivalent of a day's worth of bowling in a Test Match! We'll be trying to take as many wickets as we can in the process, and may be bowling at our coaches along the way!

We would love you to sponsor us with either a fixed amount, or if you're a risk-taker, you could sponsor us £1 per wicket... but be warned, we practice a lot so could get lots of wickets!

However you'd like to sponsor us, we'll be very grateful for any support you can give us to help our team and our club achieve this fundraising challenge.

Thank you!
